I am confused about faith and hope, and I'm 'hoping' someone can help me out.
I put my faith in God. When I pray and ask for something, I no longer worry about it. I have faith that God will handle the situation, even if the outcome differs from what I imagined. The bible mentions 'hope' quite often. Paul says it several times in Romans. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says we have faith, hope, and love. It just seems to me that hope is what you have when there is a lack of faith. For example, my first sentence. I do not have faith that my question will be answered here, so I hope it does.
My thought process here is obviously wrong. The bible says over and over we have hope, and I believe the written word. I just don't understand it and looking for some feedback.
I'll be travelling today and may be away from my computer for a while, so I'm sorry if I do not reply in a timely fashion.
